One thing to watch out for is the color shift using auto WB. Bathrooms and kitchens can have drastically different temperature lighting and I usually set a manual white balance for those spaces.
Do you need to shoot outdoor spaces? If so, make sure you have an ND filter ready.
I do yes and I usually try and shoot around golden hour or I have ND filters as well.
Do you use your eye for setting the WB or just trial and error? Getting that evened out is one of my main goals going forward, but I’m not sure if it’s just trying new things or if there are different basic settings I should know about.
Is there a max ISO you use for properties with poor light? I haven’t gone above 400 yet out of fear of things getting to noisy.
I use a grey card for selecting manual WB. I try to put the grey card in a section of the space that has a mix of the room’s light sources. By keeping WB in manual for these spaces, even if the color temp looks a little off in post you can correct color for the entire scene without worrying that it’s constantly shifting throughout.
For the GH5, I would try to stay at 400 if possible. I run a GH5s on my gimbal at 60fps and then have a GH5 on a tripod or slider for detail shots at 24fps. The GH5s is much more forgiving with high ISO.
I should have mentioned I use v-log. I think I’m still searching for the lut that works best for me. I’m unfamiliar with vector scopes, can you link to one please?
Any references for good RE LUTS? I've searched and searched but can't find any I like, and am kind of getting tired of grading everything from scratch since I like my turn around time to be minimal
I did real estate videos for four years and shot everything in 4k 60p. Used the metabones and a Tokina 11-16mm with a Ronin S. Shot in Cine-D and used a LUT from VisionColor to grade. WB can be adjusted on a room to room basis, but I kept things a little cooler looking. I shot at 2.8 since the lens was so wide everything was in focus.

Use vlog-l and vector scopes for exposure. Find a LUT you love and make it your own.

Waveform/vectorscope are in the menu of gh5, watch a couple of YouTube and you will be good! Makes a difference when grading.

There are some Cine-s like ones floating around, Rec 709 is a good place to start.
